04.23.24 | Sleep Disruption in Youth with Chronic Illness
Live Webinar ~ 12:00 - 1:00 PM EST
Guest Speaker
Session Overview
Children and adolescents with cancer and other catastrophic or chronic illnesses are at increased risk for sleep disturbances. Mechanisms of sleep disturbance in this population include illness factors, treatment-induced symptoms, psychological and emotional challenges, and environmental disruptions. Most interventions to address sleep problems in children and adolescents have been validated in otherwise healthy samples of children. Tailored interventions at both the individual and environmental level will be discussed.
